Introduction

It’s highly appreciated to be involved in the ‘Leadership and Influence Professional’ training program! Many people tend to say that leaders are innate and not being made over time. However it is true some are born leaders, still others are born in the middle of hardship to regain most attainable spoils. Habitually, humble people who have never had a leadership role will have the capability to stand up and take the lead whenever a situation they do care about demands it.
